Who We Help

As the main fundraising body for Princess Margaret Hospital and the soon to open Perth Children’s Hospital, 100 per cent of funds raised through the Foundation are made available to the hospital and its related entities.

Princess Margaret Hospital

Princess Margaret Hospital for Children is a 220-bed, internationally recognised paediatric facility that treats children and adolescents aged 15 years and younger from around Western Australia and is the state’s only tertiary paediatric hospital. PMH will soon be replaced by Perth Children’s Hospital after caring for kids for 107 years.

Each year Foundation donations support thousands of children who rely on the hospital for care and treatment. In the past year;

Over 71,000 children have presented to the Emergency Department

More than 11,000 surgical procedures have been performed on children

In the region of 187,000 outpatient visits have been attended by children and their families

Perth Children’s Hospital

With the opening of the new Perth Children’s Hospital and its increased capacity and huge advances in technology, comes the challenge of ensuring the hospital remains at the forefront of paediatric healthcare.

Whilst the State Government is funding the build and initial fit-out of the hospital, the Foundation will continue to be called upon to fund initiatives outside of its day to day running, including supporting;

Professorial Chairs of Expertise,

Research Fellowships and funding for clinical research

Unique training opportunities for staff

Leading-edge equipment as it becomes available

moments of happiness, respite and fun for patients and families
